Bill > HRes1033

This resolution expresses support for designating the week of February 2, 2026, as "National Tribal Colleges and Universities Week" to recognize the significant contributions of these institutions. Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) are tribally or federally chartered higher education institutions that serve students from over 250 federally recognized Indian Tribes, offering education grounded in cultural traditions and Native languages, and providing access to high-quality postsecondary opportunities for American Indians, Alaska Natives, and others in isolated and economically depressed areas. These accredited institutions prepare students for the workforce, contribute significantly to the national economy, and offer substantial returns on investment for students, taxpayers, and society, while also serving a diverse student body that includes non-Indian individuals. The resolution calls on the American people and interested groups to observe this week with activities and programs that demonstrate support for TCUs.
